Keeping Busy at Work

This morning, I still had three huge boxes of greeting cards to count.  But before I could tally them, I needed to make space to move the boxes out from under the shelves in the closet that serves as an office.  This meant I needed to assemble a card rack that rotates. Thankfully,  the card display came with seven pages of directions.  I really don't like the screws with hexagonal heads that tighten with a wrench.  Trying to get a grip hurt my fingers.  And even though I read that the three plastic sheets should be fitted together with the bigger hole on top, I somehow managed to put the thumb tacks into the smaller hole first.  It seems sturdy enough and provided 72 card pockets--enough to almost empty the box.  This display contains birthday cards for specific family members, thank you cards, wedding, anniversary and retirement cards.  And after getting that box out of the way, I had room to count.  I was glad that I didn't have to get up from the floor to make an arrangement or answer the phone as it would have taken a while.  I put that box away and started on the next.  By the time I finished, I knew I needed another method.  So I positioned the last box on the counter, stood on a mat, and counted away. I don't have the final tally, but would guess I counted 2000 cards or more.  Tomorrow I will total the figures for each price point.  During the inventory, I decided to make a hot cup of cocoa.  Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I had disolved mini marshmallows in hot water!  No wonder It tasted terrible.rt5555555etyggv This last is my petite gray cat saying hello!
